ORNAMENTAL CHAIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 281,853, dated July 24, 1883.

' Application mea Apriiszs, 1833. (No model.)

i Z'o all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN ETZENSPERGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at North Attleborough, in the county .of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ornamental Chains; and I do declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or gures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

vFigure 1 of the drawings is a representation of this invention, and is a section taken through the beads of the chain to show the direction of the Stringing-wire. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the Stringing-wire. Fig. 3 is a view of the edge of the chain.

This invention has relation to ornamental chains and the like constructed of interlaced rings or beads. and Stringing and binding wires; and it consists in the construction and `novel arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, andparticularly pointed out in the claim appended.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, a designates the rings orbeads, made from tubular wire, in the manner well known tothe trade.

b designates a combined Stringing and binding wire, made with a single iiattened perforated head, c, bent at right angles to the Stringing portion of its stem. This wire b should be more than twice the length the width of the chain to be made, in order to provide for the bends in its binding portion. A sufficient number of rings or beads should be strung upon its stem, and then-'the adjacent beaded wires should be connected by bending the end of the stem and passing its point through alternate rings on the adjacent wires until the perforated flattened end has been reached, when the point of the wire should be passed therethrough, a sufficient tension v exerted to cause the rings to interlace firmly, andthe end of the wire then turned inwardly after twisting and tied in the chain, to give it a finished appearance.

This chain has the appearance of others now on the market; but its construction differs,
